Happy Earth Day 🌎 To be honest, I would have loved to have spent the whole day thrifting but it’s wedding season so... But that’s okay! I am still excited that I did manage to score some more decor for my studio in the little time I had today to thrift 😍 I can’t get enough of that wicker! #earthlovesthrift @sathriftstore

How did I know Benson was the one at the shelter? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was his big brown eyes, his funny personality and of course his affection that I couldn’t say no to❤️ Right from the start he connected with Tim and I, he trusted us in such a scary environment for him. I remember walking him for the first time and he stay so close to me that he practically leaning on me while was walking. It was adorable. That’s how we knew he was the one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have a rescue animal? How did you know he/she was the one?

They’re LIVE in my Etsy shop! I had so much fun creating this new design for my vow book collection. It’s always so exciting to see that first book right off my press and see those beautiful impressions. This ink colour is even more beautiful than I could imagine, i’m such a sucker for browns and oranges. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What colours would you like to see in my next design?

Honesty time about owning your own small business 👇🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It might seem amazing to live the life of an entrepreneur or a small business owner, but it’s not a glamorous as Instagram show us. Yes, you can choose your hours and literally do whatever you want all day, but with the freedom it comes with a lot of responsibilities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you picture for example my day to day life as a designer, you might think I wake up make an amazing breakfast then walk into my huge spacious office and spend the rest of the designing, playing with paper and letterpress printing with the occasional coffee shop work sesh. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But reality, THAT IS NOT REMOTELY TRUE! Most of the work I do on a day to day basis is not design related, SHOCKER, is it though? I don’t have a secretary to answer all my emails and leads, I don’t have a shipping team to package and assemble all my orders everyday, I don’t have my own marketing team for social media etc etc. So some days I spend more than half for my day just answering emails and shipping packages (not everyday, I try to keep to the 20% rule). But literally everything you see is all done by myself, of course there are exceptions to everything, but for the most part most small business owners do everything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Obviously, there are also tons of positives to being your own boss but I don’t feel many people talk about the “non-fun” parts of my job. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So shout out to those small business owners! Let’s end this post with some positivity, what’s your favourite part of you job? Mines Letterpress printing 🙌🏼

To be honest, the last few days I have felt like I have been running like a chicken with it’s head cut off. You know that saying right? Well, clearly it is the time of the year for rush orders and expedited shipping! Luckily, because I am a small business, I am able to go above and beyond for my clients (ex, ship out parcels super speedy to make deadlines.) It took a few days of catch up with so many rush orders but I finally got my inbox down to zero and shipped out all my orders! Feels so good to take a breather and put my feet up. But just for a minute, cause I have a huge list of to-dos that I have neglected these past few days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have the long weekend off from work or are you working this weekend?
